Abstract (en)
[origin: WO0103999A1] An extended-base tension leg substructure (100) and method for supporting an offshore platform is disclosed which includes a plurality of support columms (102) disposed about a central axis (106) of the substructure and interconnected by at least one pontoon (110). Each columm comprises an above water and submerged portion. The substructure also includes a plurality of wings or arms (114) radiating from the columms and/or the pontoons, each wing (114) fixedly or removably securing at least one tendon extending from a wing to an anchor on the seabed. The substructure includes an open, wave transparent central zone (108) for improved access to well-related equipment, conduits or the like and the wings (114) minimize translational movement and rotational flex in the substructure reducing fatigue in the tendons and their connections (118).
